exhibit, including those on exhibition only, suffering from any
infectious or contagious disease will be allowed to enter upon or
remain in the hall, neither shall any exhibit from a cattery that
has been infected with Feline Enteritis within the preceding period
of 3 months or any other infectious disease within the previous 30
days of show.

4. In Cage
Vetting: A Vet may be present on the day to inspect all exhibits.
He/she will be empowered to disqualify all exhibits which in their
opinion are suffering from any infectious of contagious disease or
are not in show condition. The Vet's decision is final. If any
exhibit is rejected because of an infectious or contagious disease
they may disqualify all the other exhibits from the same cattery at
their discretion.

5. If a
Vet is not present or has left the hall, then a Vetting-In committee
comprising of three suitable QICC Inc members will be appointed to
check exhibits on the day and request the removal of any exhibit
they feel is not in show condition.

benching areas. Queens obviously in milk shall not be benched
without their litters.

7. ALL
EXHIBITS MUST HAVE ALL THEIR CLAWS CLIPPED PRIOR TO THE SHOW.

8. A judge
is empowered to withhold any award in any class if in his/her
opinion the exhibit does not possess sufficient merit. Any protests
can be made to the show committee, in writing, accompanied by a $20
fee within 7 days after the show. A judge may not judge an exhibit
that has been domiciled at their home during the preceding 3 months,
nor shall he/she compete in the same section of the show for which
he/she has been appointed to judge.

9.
An open
challenge system is used. All entire/altered cats will compete in

any status section. Gold Double Grand Champion Males/Females,

11.
NO EXHIBIT MAY BE REMOVED FROM THE HALL PRIOR TO THE CONCLUSION OF
THE SHOW WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THE SHOW MANAGER OR MEMBER OF THE
SHOW COMMITTEE.

12.
DIFFICULT TO HANDLE CATS: If, at any time an exhibit shows itself to
be difficult to handle or threatening, the Judge may call for the
owner to remove the exhibit from it's cage and place it on the
Judge's table. The Judge will then decide if she/he wishes to judge
that animal. This procedure protects your cat from any unnecessary
handling. Should your exhibit be marked "Unable to be Judged" then
it is automatically withdrawn from any other rings and can not be
shown again on the day. Should the judge consider the exhibit TO BE
OF POOR TEMPERAMENT or in their opinion sufficiently difficult to
handle, including excessively timid, the judge may withhold any
awards at their discretion.

13.
No exhibitor is to talk to a judge or heckle in the ring at any time
during the course of the show about any exhibit that is not owned by
them, without the owner’s permission. One warning will be issued and
if any further offences occur the exhibitor and their exhibits will
be asked to leave the show.
